7:03 am
tea and trumpets thursday on cbs. >> this morning's eye-opener presented by toyota, let's go places. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie rose is off and feeling fantastic. are you feeling fantastic? >> me, too. >> good to see you. welcome, anthony. the white house is spelling out its plan to fight illegal immigration. new guidelines affeeffective immediately put undocumented immigrants at greater risk of deportation. >> secretary john kelly will discuss border issues in mexico city. jeff pegues in washington with new policies causing fear and controversy. jeff, good morning. >> good morning. the white house says these new guidelines don't create new laws, they just allow enforcement of the ones already
7:04 am
on the books. this tougher approach to immigration enforcement is expected to cost billions of dollars to implement and expands the number of people who could face deportation, whether they have committed a serious crime or not. secretary john kelly and the department of homeland security provided the road map tuesday for executing the trump administration's orders on immigration. two dhs memos show how the government will authorize deportation of anyone in violation of u.s. immigration laws, expedite removal of any undocumented immigrant in the country for less than two years with no court hearing. immediately return many people captured at the mexican border to mexico, and hire 15,000 new border patrol and immigration officers. but homeland security officials stressed the directives are not intended to be mass deportation. >> the president wanted to take shackles off individuals in these agencies and say you have
7:05 am
a mission. >> the trump administration will also move to end the practice known as catch and release, which allowed certain immigrants to be free while their proceedings were pending. under the new directive, local police are also empowered to take in anyone they think could be a risk to public safety or national security. white house press secretary sean spicer says the dhs directive is based on existing immigration laws. >> everybody who is here illegally is subject to removal at any time. >> the memos leave in place an obama era program known as daca, which granted work permits to people known as dreamers, who were brought to the country illegally as children. still democrats in congress call the guidelines a cruel blue print for mass deportations that will tear families apart and make america less safe. >> jeff pegues. thanks, jeff. rex tillerson's visit to mexico is his second foreign trip since starting at secretary
7:06 am
of state. he's kept a low public profile in the u.s. some current and former state department officials are raising concerns about staffing cuts and being kept from key meetings. margaret brennan is at the state department with a closer look at tillerson's approach. margaret, good morning. >> good morning. secretary of state rex tillerson has been largely silent during his almost three weeks on the job. he hasn't held a news conference and many meetings and calls are not being publicly disclosed. there also haven't been any daily briefings, which for decades have been the main channel for the department to get its message out. that leaves foreign governments often describing american policy rather than the u.s. itself. but perhaps more serious for diplomats, state department officials were completely shut out of president trump's key meeting with israeli prime minister last week while mr. trump's son-in-law jared kushner
7:07 am
who has no experience with foreign affairs did sit in. state department officials insist tillerson is not being shut out. he'll meet today with the president and they often speak by phone. officials here tell me tillerson is being careful and deliberate. he's trying to catch policy up with the rhetoric of the president all while working and trying to fly under the radar of an administration facing no shortage of diplomatic crisis. >> certainly worth watching, margaret, thank you so much. commander of u.s. forces in the middle east will ask president trump if he wants more american troops in syria. overnight general joseph votel told on a trip to the region the u.s. may have to take on a larger burden against isis. the president ordered the pentagon to have a new plan for the city of raqqa. the new deployment would not include combat troops. members of congress are on recess but the political debate has shifted from capitol hill to

7:09 am
hall. >> american people made it very clear. they want obama care repealed. >> to a courthouse gathering in iowa. >> every single one of us walks around with a pre-existing condition. >> to blackstone, virginia. gop lawmakers got an earful tuesday. >> i'm having fun. >> reporter: a lot of the angst center arnold immigration. legal limbo. >> i'm from a muslim country and i'm a muslim, who is going to save me here. >> iowa senator chuck grassley embraced his outspoken constituents. >> i learned that we've got issues that people feel very strongly about, and we have to
7:10 am
try to deal with them. >> as did senator leader mitch mcconnell, who faced protesters before giving a speech in his home state of kentucky. >> i respect their right to be there and to express themselves, because that's what we do in this country. >> reporter: it will be interesting to see what kind of reception he gets today, one of the few republicans who has actually put forth a plan to replace obama care but it hasn't gotten a lot of pickup from his republican colleagues yet because there's still so much disagreement in the party about how expansive a replacement plan should be. >> nancy, thanks. president trump denounced anti-semitism in his first comment on a series of threats against jewish community centers. the president called the threat horrible and painful after touring the national museum of african-american history and culture. the leader of one jewish organization isn't satisfied,
7:11 am
though. executive director of ann frank center for mutual respect called the president's remarks a band-aid on the cancer of anti-semitism. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the white house contends president trump has spoken out against hate and in a sense he has. nearly 70 bomb threats called into jewish centers across the country, the president withheld specific condemnation until yesterday. >> we have to fight bigotry, intolerance, hatred in all of its very ugly forms. >> reporter: president trump used a tour of african-american national history museum to address for the first time threats against community centers across the u.s. >> the anti-semitic threats targeting our jewish community and community centers are horrible.
7:12 am
and are painful. >> mr. trump has been under increasing pressure and scrutiny to condemn anti-semitism. this week 11 jewish community centers received telephoned bomb threat according to jcc association of north america and vandals damaged hundreds of headstones at a jewish cemetery in st. louis. >> a very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil. >> reporter: until tuesday the president remained largely silent on the issue. at last week's press conference the president cut off an orthodox jewish reporter who asked him what he planned to be about the bomb threat. >> okay, sit down. independent the rest of your question. i am the least anti-semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life. >> reporter: and at a press conference with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, the president said this. >> as far as people -- jewish people, so many friends, a

7:15 am
water inundated a neighborhood forcing those who live there to get out quickly. >> they are being decontaminated because this is polluted water. it could be sewage. it could be gasoline and motor oil from cars under water. >> reporter: crews working in chest deep water used boats to rescue dozens of people strah stranded. more than 30 homes flooded and more than 2xpeople taken to dry land. >> any time we're showing up in boats to get people out of their homes, clearly we're going to have a lot of time over the next week or two to look at where there are lessons to be learned. >> reporter: the floodwater submerged cars, stranded horses, even a skunk. people here are keeping a close eye on news reports. >> the water level may rise a little bit more and then hopefully start to go down but who knows. >> reporter: the flooding was partially the result of overflow from anderson dam up stream, which also shut down northbound

♪ well, good morning to our viewers in the west. it's wednesday, february 22nd, 2017. welcome back to "cbs this morning." there's more real news ahead, including president trump's new immigration enforcement policy. usa today's susan page looks at how the changes could affect 11 million undocumented immigrants. but first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. new guidelines don't create new laws, just allow the enforcement of ones already on the books. rex tillerson has been largely silent during his almost three weeks on the job. he hasn't held a news conference. people attending say they are just concerned constituents looking to put the brakes on president trump's agenda. the white house contends
8:01 am
president trump has spoken out against hate. in the face of nearly 70 bomb threats called into jewish community centers, the president held specific condemnation until yesterday. overnight, floodwaters moved into new neighborhoods in san jose. even though the rain has stopped, runoff down the hills means rising creeks continue to be a threat. bao bao has landed in china, receiving a big sendoff this week. she's in good hands. >> i can't believe they fedex'd her. >> fedex i like that. they can take anything. we're a month into trump's presidency. and for those of you -- for those of you -- for those of you -- pace yourself. it's only one month, people. for those of you keeping score at home, donald trump has gone golfing six times. six times in 30 days. that does explain the bumper sticker on air force one. i'd rather be golfing and there's a 20% chance that i am. ♪ i'm norah o'donnell.
8:02 am
gayle king, anthony mason. charlie is off. secretary of state and homeland security meet with mexican officials in mexico city today, following new trump administration rules authorizing the deportation of anyone violating u.s. immigration laws. under the guidelines, any undocumented immigrant who came here less than two years ago can be removed without a court hearing. the government will also return anyone captured at the mexican border to mexico, no matter where they started from. and the u.s. plans to hire 15,000 new border patrol and immigration agents. the white house is expected to announce a new travel ban later this week. activists strung a banner reading "refugees welcome" under the statue of liberty yesterday. president trump has condemned anti-semitic threats in the u.s. calling them horrible and painful. vandals damaged more than 100 headstones the at a jewish cemetery in st. louis this week
8:03 am
and 69 bomb threats have been made against jewish community centers since january 9th. the president spoke after touring the museum of african-american history and culture. >> we have to fight bigotry, intolerance and hatred in all of its very ugly forms. the anti-semitic threats targeting our jewish community and community centers are horrible. and are painful. >> it was the first time the president denounced the threat. he was asked about them last week at a news conference. >> i haven't seen anybody in my community accuse either yourself or anyone on your staff of being anti-semitic. what we are concerned about and what we haven't really heard being addressed is an uptick in anti-semitism and how the government is planning to take care of it. >> you see, he said he was going to ask a very simple, easy question. and it's not. it's not. it's not a simple question.
8:04 am
it's not a fair question. okay, sit down. i understand the rest of your question. so here at story, folks. number one, i am the least anti-semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life. >> the executive director of the anne frank center for mutual respect called yesterday's statement a pathetic asterisk of condescension after weeks in which he and his staff have committed grotesque acts and owe missions reflecting anti-semitism. >> susan page joins us at the table. always good to see you. >> great to be back. >> let's start with changes in the immigration policy. most people i know want anybody who is here illegally, who has committed crimes, sent back. i think most people agree on that. this policy seems to take it one step further than that. does it? >> it takes it three steps further than that. it doesn't change the law. it's the same as it has been for recent administrations. it's a big shift in attitude not only from the obama
8:05 am
administration but george w. bush administration. >> how so? >> both administrations said if you committed a crime and you're here illegally, you should get deported. this has greatly expanded the pool of people who are really at risk of deportation and expanded the pool of people at risk for fast-track deportation without court hearings. >> right. >> the front page of usa today, you guys blare this headline. u.s. could deport millions of people. really? millions of people? the white house says we're not talking about mass deportation. which is it? >> because the white house says they're not going to do that now. but it opens the door to this. and you cannot have -- mass deportation, you could define that in different ways. this isn't going to happen at least until they hire new agents, expand the number of immigration judges, increase detention facilities. but this sets up a policy much greater -- many more deportations than we've seen in the last decade. >> this could create a climate of fear in the immigrant communities if it hasn't already. >> i think it already has.
8:06 am
our reporting in miami we've seen the reporting of the kind of fear with immigrants. and even a few scattered cases we've seen, like the case in california where the mother who had been here more than a decade was deported has raised great alarm. remember two-thirds of illegal immigrants have been here at least a decade. they're really part of the fabric of our life. admittedly, they're here illegally. >> but they've been contributing citizens to this country. >> many of them. and primary for illegal immigrants, immigrants is lower than the crime rates for other. >> despite what is often advertised. >> although there is some celebrated crimes involving immigrants. >> isn't it giving more power to local law enforcement as well? >> it sets up partnerships with local law enforcement officials that have been reduced in the obama administration. and it also gives more power to immigration agents to say i think that you're a threat to national security. you're a threat to public safety and, therefore, you are subject to deportation.
8:07 am
>> we've been reporting about the heat that republican lawmakers are receiving at these town halls while they're home for the recess. i've heard it said it's more astroturf than grassroots, meaning it's kind of like fake. fake protests. nonetheless those are people in the districts that have turned out. what's the practical effect? is it like the tea party protest? >> it reminds me of when the democrats tried to dismiss the tea party movement in 2009 and 2010. democratic liberal activists are running to get ahead of this parade, right? we saw the women's march, those big demonstrations on the second weekend of president obama's tenure, those were not generated by organizations. now, organizations -- liberal organizations are not trying to take advantage of this, but this certainly reflects concern that republicans are hearing. >> but donald trump is calling them so-called -- calling them so-called republican -- so-called angry crowds are actually numerous cases planned

goes down. the more we exercise, the more we keep lean body mass the better our testosterone will be over time. there's no magic food or supplement. the key is hard work, exercising and moving around. >> david, are you saying basically testosterone replacements are, with the risks, a bad idea? >> i think that the data show that in people with low testosterone, taking testsoterone doesn't help cognitive function, does not have improved libido, like the viagras and cialises of the world. >> men looking for the fountain of youth? i know a couple of those guys. >> ain't nothing wrong with that. >> everybody is looking for the fountain of youth, gayle. >> but does it help? does the testosterone help? >> no, it doesn't help with the fountain of youth, but exercise, diet, all the things we know about certainly does.

thompson joins us now from chicago. good morning, melody. >> good morning. >> free shipping for amazon, $35 and up. what's part of the strategy? >> this strategy is very clear. brick and mortar against online. they're going tit-for-tat. we have to expect it. those who pay a subscription rate get free shipping as well as a lot of other freebies. they have ignored the customer, some would say, that don't want to subscribe. and that customer, walmart is going after. once walmart lowered the bar, amazon had to do the exact same thing, tit-for-tat. >> this is the first time we've seen amazon have a reactionary response, some would say. what does that say to you? >> i am not sure that's true. i think there's been a lot going on, back and forth, for years now. it only says to me that they're being smart. they recognize they don't want to lose a customer that will go to walmart for a better deal.

8:35 am
we were buying things on line. >> yes. >> that changed a couple of years ago. now you have tax and shipping potentially, which means going to a brick and mortar store and getting the item could be cheaper. so the cost of doing business now is this shipping issue. it really has to become more compelling for the consumer so that they don't get a better deal just walking down the street. >> yesterday it was reported that u.p.s. tested a drone delivery system launched from a truck. you don't normally think of u.p.s. as a tech company. what do you think this says about where u.p.s. is heading? >> again, tit-for-tat. amazon talked about drones a couple of years ago. charlie even did that story to broke the news of drones. amazon, u.p.s. and all of them are saying whatever we can do to get these products to customers cheaper and faster, we will do. no one has cracked the code on anything new yet. expect to see them dabble in a lot of things. >> interesting to see one of those things land on your front
